We use the NAPA VIN scanner. When a car arrives, my job is to scan it, assign it to a customer, enter in the mileage and if I choose, enter in any notes be they damage remarks or symptoms. I click enter and they are in my desk laptop in a heartbeat. The pro link then can order parts and I can copy and use in any place the VIN is needed.
This little gadget has speeded things up considerably. I don't have to ask my husband later if it's a 2L or a 2.2L engine. I can order everything using the decoded VIN in advance and even tell him what services are suggested according to the mileage before he has even touched the car.
